The band of the 110th Mahrattas played selec tions on the upper dock during the afternoon. Hongkong so far has not shown up well in the both events for Regatta. Canton carried which it had entorse, and is to be heartily congratulated. The Germans and Italions, also, both beat the British bluejackets,

TRESPASSING ON RACE COURSE.

Regatta. Sergeaut Boule, of the Water Police, gare evidence as to the to eroas the persistence of the ruster course after being warned not to do Inspector Langley in another polica pinnace had also warned him not to do so.

Lam Shan, Master of the junk, said he did not naderstand what the police inspector said.

By the Court-Inspector Langley had an interpreter in Chinese with him, but I could not understand what he said. I was going to Sham Sni Po from Hongkong. I saw the fags flying, but did not know the meaning of them.

The Magistrate found the charge proved and fined the defendant $2.

JUNK BASTEE CAUTIONED.

Cheung Wing Foo, Master of fishing was charged at the junk No 6,801, H, instance of Captain Jones, RA, with wilfully disobeying the lawful orders of the Harbour Master, in that he did sail past the shore where the artillery were at practice. In view of the defendant being in custody for 40 hours, the Harbour Master dismissed him with a caution. BEFOEK ME. BASTL TAYLOR (ASSISTANT HARBOUR MASTER)..

COLLISION.

The direct and immediate offect of railway construction on a large scale can scarcely be over-estimated. In the first place it will be formerly existed to make the tenure of the United States in the islands uncertain, sud to make cupitel timid, are no longer present to thwart the development of the resources of the islands. industrial and commercial activity will be coincident with the coming of tho railroad.

It not only means that millions of dollars will be brought into the archipelago to build, operate and maintain railroads, but it will be an Barnest of the permanency of American institu- tions and authority in the islends, and will form the chief angieus for substantial exploitation and prosperity.

It is not prolable that capitol will hesitate to go where the American Government will undertake to guarantee a bandsome profit on extensive railway liner, and it is a safe predio tion that the money expended to build and equip railroads will be but a small fraction of the capital that will soon find profitable returns in this quarter of the globe.

With the ecuing of the railroad, the principal regions of the archipelago will find n cutlet, otherwise than by the antiquated carabeo cart, and the medieval instruments of agriculture and manufacture will be displaced by up-to-date inventions.

Altogether, the outlook was never as bright for the Philippines es at the present time. There is much to be dece, but the assurance that it will soon be undertaken is highly gratify ing.

The flowing telegram appeared in the number of the Cablenews received yesterday:

San Francisco, December 3.-A syndicats to constract milways in the Philippine islands is in process of formation. The articles of in- corporation are being prepared and will be sub- mitted to Secretary Taft for suggestions upon his return from Panama.

In his message to Congress President Roosevelt will reetmmond the immediate con- sideration of the bill passed by the House of Re presentatives at the last session, to secure rail. way construction in the islands by guanteeing an income of fre per cent. upon the cash capital invested in railroad building.

There will be no effective opposition offered to the bill and it will probably become a law this month.

An inquiry was held into the collision between the steam launches Ying Fat of which Mak Fan was the Master, and the Choy Sang of which Ho Kau was Master, which occurred in the waters of the Colony on the 28th nitimo, Mak Tsau, master of the Ying Fat, deposed-I left Nan Pak Hong for Shea Chan at about 7am. on the 28th ultimo.

LAKCENT.

The bill, which will be taken up at the session of Congress which began on the 5th inst., provides that the Philippine commission may guantes an income of not exceeding five per cent. per suaum upon cash capital actually in- rested in the construction and equipment of steam and slectric railways for a period not to exceed thirty years.

Some of the regular steamship lines in the trade bave, sinos the seizures began, refused all- cargo for Japan. Others, like ourselves, have

MACON

We are told that new instructions are being issued to Russian naval offleers, enjoining legs rigorous treatment of nentral shipping. We cannot speak for other owners, but we do not POMMARD, "Superieur" ourselves feel justified in modifying our line of action on the strength of this vague promise. CHAMBERTIN Our experience with the Calchas certainly does not encourage us to rely on the leniency of CALIFORNIA Russian Davol officers. In this connexion wo may remarks that we have now ascertained the SPARKLING RED reason why our steamer, when captured, was sent to Saghalion instead of straight to Vladivo stook. It was to land there part of her cargo of flour. She was thus made use of as a trans- port, and part of her cargo confiscated, without any legal authority whatever.

Lord Lanstowne states that he is unable to find that British shipping is less favourably treated than German. We may point out that the German steamer Arabin which was captured during the same raid as the Catchus, and certainly carried a more questionable cargo, has long been at liberty, while the Calchas is still at Vladivostock, detained pending the hoaring of an appeal which has been lodged on obviously frivolous and untenable pretexts.

It has been suggested that British ship- owners have been unduly nervans, and hara allowed trade needlessly to fall into foreign bonds. We do not think that this view will commend itself to those who have followed the details of the Catches case, and realise how absolutely innocent was the trading in which she was engaged, with what ingenious hostility she has been treat d, and what is meant to the owners by the indefinitely prolonged detention, and the risk of confiscation, of so valuable an not their own masters in the matter, Vessels insand ressel.

Lord Lansdowne says that it is impossible to inform merchants or shipowners whether cargoes of a particular description are liable to seizure, because there is a large class of intermediate articles which may be properly as they are or are not found to be destined for treated as contraband, or as innocent, according warlike purposes. This completely misses the point raised by traders, which arises from the fact that Russia treats this large intermediate class as unconditionally contraband.

The bill also contains a provision that material imported for the constraction and +quipment of railroads may be admitted free of duty.
